Garcia said that when officers found Ramos a short time later, he had changed shirts and was trying to flee the area.

Ramos was arrested without incident and is being held on $530,000 bail on suspicion of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.

Both victims were taken to hospitals where one was listed in serious condition.

SANTA BARBARA

Standoff ends with arrest

Police say they were able to distract a knife-wielding man with loud noises and smoke long enough to disarm him after a nearly four-hour standoff in Montecito.

The Santa Barbara News-Press reported that police used a flash-bang device while shooting 43-year-old Paul Robinette in the legs with less-than-lethal rounds to end the standoff at 12:40 p.m. Wednesday.

When police arrived, Robinette was standing next to his car with two large blades to his neck, and would jump up and down or run around when officers tried to approach.

After two hours, police deployed a robot to close the car's trunk and door, and hand Robinette a bag with a McDonald's lunch.

After using the distraction scheme later, officers were able to handcuff Robinette and take him to a hospital.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY

Homeowner held in shooting

Sacramento County authorities have arrested a homeowner who fatally shot a suspected burglar and wounded another intruder.

Sheriff's officials said Jerry Rasmussen of Fair Oaks was booked into Sacramento County jail Wednesday on suspicion of possessing prohibited ammunition and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The 60-year-old Rasmussen is scheduled to appear in court Friday.

Officials said Rasmussen was startled by intruders in his home early Wednesday. Armed with a handgun, he shot two strangers, who were in their 30s. One fled and the other died.
